May I see some I.D.?

Nervousness and Temptations

Disclaimer: Beyblade's not mine.

By the way: It's in Kai's POV.

I opened my mouth and closed it. I opened my mouth and closed it. I opened my mouth and closed it. I opened my mouth and closed it. I opened my mouth and closed it.

Damn! When did I get so nervous around D. She wasn't really paying attention to me so she hadn't noticed.

"Cereal…shit" She looked over at me and I didn't show any sign of what I had been doing a moment before. "What else do we need to get?" We were shopping for food in a public place and I was acting like a friggin' moron.

"I think that's it" I said, casually. D turned around and glared at all the food we had. Finally she decided that was enough.

"Whatever" she said. She kept on going to the front of the store to check out the food. She turned to me when I least expected it and she caught me being all nervous.

"Kai?" she asked.

"Yeah?" I said, blankly.

"Are you ok? You look sick"

"Huh?"

"You're all pale"

"N-no I'm fine" I said, sweat dropping. She studied my face.

"I guess so" she said, turning back to the cart. I sighed. I should've known that wouldn't be the end of it, though. You couldn't get anything past D.

I was driving back home. We were both quiet. But finally D broke the silence.

"Kai" D said.

"Yeah?"

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"I said I was fine" D frowned.

"No" she said. "I can tell when everything is not fine"

"I-" I sighed. D closed her eyes.

"It's about the promise you made me" Man, D was good. It was no use trying to get out of this.

"Y-yeah" I wanted to close my eyes like D was and just pretend that everything around me wasn't there, but I was driving. "My promise…"

"You…" D said, but I cut her off.

"I'm going to keep my promise no matter what" I said, gripping the steering wheel a little tighter. D opened her eyes and smiled.

"Only you could" she said. Damn it. Whenever I look at D I feel… human. I feel like I don't need to hide. She understands everything that I do. Like D told me when I was little…

Flashback

It was a starry night where we were. D and I had both snuck out and we were both lying on the roof staring at the stars while the others were asleep.

"Kai" D said. "Do you love someone?"

"Huh?" I sat up, quickly. "Why?"

"I just figured all guys do" I said. "My dad used to tell me that men normally can't help it. It's a man's sad nature" I looked at her like she was crazy.

"Eww" I said. "That's gross"

"Huh?" D said. She shrugged. "That's just what dad said." We were silent for a moment. "Do you ever plan on falling in love and having a family?" she asked.

"Huh?"

"Come on, tell me" D said. "If you want it can be our little secret!" I sighed.

"Honestly. I don't know" I said. "Maybe if I found the right girl…" D started to giggle. "What?" I asked.

"Look at you," she said, smirking. "All mature"

"Hey!" I said.

"But the truth is," D continued. "I think I would've said the same thing. Except…" she giggled again. "I'd be with a guy" We stared at each other for a while.

"I'll miss you, D" I said.

"I'll miss you too, K" We gave each other a hug and D cried in my arms. She was going to leave me all alone…

She was going… far away…

End Flashback

The things that stuck out the most were "Men normally can't help it" and "It's a man's sad nature" I sighed. I would prove that wrong. I would keep my promise no matter… no matter how sexy D is.

We got back home and we carried all the groceries in. When we were done packing everything away D came over to me and gave me a light kiss. I smiled at her. She could always tell when I needed one. It almost seemed as if we had been kissing ever since we first met rather than for just 3 days. It was weird how slow time went. It would only be about 4 or so more days until D was cured. She wouldn't have her Acute Stress Disorder anymore. She'd be free.

To hell with this! I was kissing D more passionately now, like it always ends up. I slid my hand up her shirt and massaged her back. D didn't pull away. She trusted me.

I ran my hands through her blonde hair. She moaned. I pulled away and she smiled.

"Thanks, K" she said.

"No problem, D" We hugged each other and stayed there for who-the-hell-knows-how-long.
